Waiting on Wednesday (74)

Caraval by Stephanie Garber

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Expected Publication Date: January 31st, 2017

Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads)

Before you enter the world of Caraval, you must remember that it’s all a game . . .

Scarlett has never left the tiny island where she and her beloved sister, Tella, live with their ruthless father. Now Scarlett’s father has arranged a marriage for her, and Scarlett thinks her dreams of seeing Caraval, the legendary, once-a-year performance where the audience participates in the show, are over.

Then, Scarlett’s long-dreamt of invitation to Caraval finally arrives. So, Tella enlists a mysterious sailor’s help to whisk Scarlett away to this year’s show. But as soon as the trio arrives, Tella is kidnapped by Caraval’s mastermind organizer, Legend.

Scarlett has been told that everything that happens during Caraval is only an elaborate performance. But she nonetheless soon becomes enmeshed in a game of love, heartbreak, and magic with her sister, with Legend, and with the other players in the game. And whether Caraval is real or not, she must find Tella before the five nights of the game are over, a dangerous domino effect of consequences is set off, and her sister disappears forever.

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover 

I can't believe it's August already. Where has the last 7 months gone? It's been awhile since I've posted anything. The honest truth is that I needed to step back with everything in my life and find what I really enjoy. In my time away from blogging I've found some new hobbies that I find that I love doing. Now I'm back and I've read some really good books in my time away and excited to start sharing. The books above are some of what I've bought recently. I'm so excited to start reading them! I think I'm going to start with It Ends with Us. The author posted a pic on Instagram recently where she has received something like over 800 5 star reviews on Amazon. I definitely would like to see what this book is about because of that. 

What new books have you received recently???
